Lots to do, visit the castle, walk at Murlough Nature reserve, go into the Mourne mountains, eat at Mourne Seafood Bar etc also only £5 in a taxi to the nearby wedding venues.

The bedrooms of our flat are at the back and very quiet except for birdsong! You can keep an eye on your car from the bed!

We have a wonderful Norman castle here. Two national trust nature reserves within walking distance and the seaside/ fishing towns of county Down. We have St Patrick's own town Downpatrick 10 miles away. We have the Mourne Mountains and associated forest parks on our doorstep and we are only one hour from Belfast.

Maggie and Mike are new to airbnb and very enthusiast and welcoming to help you feel comfortable. Pleasant little village with good location near Tollymore etc. I would be happy to stay again in the future.

Many thanks x

This is our study so it has built in desk furniture and of course that thing we all have and never use - a sad lonely cross trainer in the corner!
The room has a very comfortable silent night double bed.
The private bathroom is down the hall and has a bath. There is a shower attachment on the tap but it isn't wall mounted for standing showering.

Gayle is lovely host, and her home is in an excellent spot: very close to the Castle, restraunts, and you can easily walk to the national park.

Adam2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

It's been an overall positive experience staying with Gayle. She's welcoming, a super caring and helpful host. We would stay with her anytime again and definitely recommend her to anybody who likes to stay in this area.

Diana2017-05-24T00:00:00Z

Perfect host for a perfect place! We had such a lovely time in Gayle's house. Thanks again :)

Mathilde2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

Gayle was absolutely lovely, from letting us wander about until the early hours, or sitting around her table for tea and conversation. We couldn't have found a better first experience in an AirBnB.

William2017-04-03T00:00:00Z

Just like going to stay with friends, if only all friends were like Gayle! Gayle communicates promptly and is very helpful with suggestions for cafes, restaurants and walks. The house is wonderful and everything was easy to work out as Gayle wasn't able to meet us as we ended up running a little late. We ate in Dundrum which was so handy and we could walk there.

Karen2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

The place is more convenient than expected. I was travelling solo with a luggage on public transport from Belfast, and Gayle was kind enough to pick me up from the bus stop which really saved me the trouble of lugging my baggage around. She was very helpful in giving tips for places nearby. The room is really quiet, bed is comfy, WiFi and hot showers work well. Breakfast was great with good variety. Her family is lovely, and the dogs were really cute! There are buses to Newcastle just at the main street, castle at the back of the area, and a nice coastal walk in Dundrum. She was also really kind to drop me off in Newcastle to catch a bus and that saved me a single bus fare :-) Would definitely head back to Gayle's place when I visit Mourne Mountains again!

Lenis2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

We must not be afraid of dogs but otherwise the house is very pretty, perfect room and very welcoming Gayle. I recommend !

Florent2017-01-26T00:00:00Z

Everything was perfect. Very good service and very friendly and nice people. Highly recommended. No complaints at all, all very nice.

Danielle2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

Staying at Chris's was the perfect relaxing weekend. The pictures don't do the house justice, it was warm and inviting and the open fire being lit for our arrival was a lovely start to our break, we definitely made the right choice to stay here for the weekend. Everything we could have needed for our stay was in the house including some food and fresh milk in the fridge. Thank you for a relaxing stay.

Stephen2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely few days here, the house was great and in a beautiful location. The pictures really don't do the house justice it was spotlessly clean, really cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. Chris is a great host too, his communication was really good up until our stay and when we arrived he'd even just boiled the kettle for us! I would highly recommend staying here.

Kathryn2017-03-25T00:00:00Z

This is an excellent house in a great location and Chris is a fantastic host

Sam2017-01-15T00:00:00Z

The house is wonderful, pictures don't do it justice, it's very lovely and homey, restaurants and shops nearby and also beautiful tourist attractions. Chris was a wonderful host all the time we were here, he was extremely kind and answered to all of our doubts very quickly. We got here a day before my mother's birthday and he helped me get a cake for her as a surprise and left us a few treats as well. If you are planning a trip you should definitely stay in his house. I highly recommend it. I wish we could have stayed forever :) Thank you for everything !

Jessie2017-02-27T00:00:00Z

Entry to the house is done very simply. Trade with Chris before and the keys were cordial and attentive (+ bread, milk, bottle of wine for our arrival). Housing is a luxurious, cozy design of modern Irish houses, very neat and spotless. The rooms and bathrooms are perfect, very bright. We enjoyed the full documentation on the capabilities of many hikes in the region. The accommodation is ten feet from Dundrum Bay and shops nearby. We highly recommend this accommodation both for its quality as the home of Chris.

Bertrand et Sylvie2016-12-31T00:00:00Z

We stayed there for 3 days during the Christmas holidays. Many other Airbnb accommodations were not available during the holidays (it seems natural though....), but Chris kindly accepted my request although he was busy in spending time with his family on my check-in day. The two-story flat was so clean and comfortable. It was equipped with all amenities and we really enjoyed our stay there feeling like living in a gorgeous house. After all it was perfect place for us to spend the Christmas holidays. It's close to a supermarket, a pub, and a restaurant, and near the sea as well. There's a path along the coastline. I recommend this place for relaxed holidays.

Takashi2016-12-28T00:00:00Z

Place is exactly as described, lovely views of the sea from the bedroom! Very comfortable and good space out the back for drinks in the sun. Highly recommended.

Fantastic position by the sea but within walking distance of the village of Dundrum which has some great restaurants and a cosy pub. The 2 bedroom cabin is simple but has everything you need. It is in it's own garden. Certified by Tourism NI.

Cosy comfy log cabin with a twin and a double bedroom. It has a small bathroom with a good shower. It has central heating which warms the house very quickly as well as a wood burning stove. There is an electric cooker and a washing machine.
Outside is a large secure parking area and a spacious garden. The veranda gets the sun in the evening.
Please note: as this is our chill-out zone there is no TV, just a DVD player. There is no broadband but you should be able to get 4G.

Fantastic location for beautiful walks. We are close to Murlough sand dunes and beach which is managed by the National Trust. We are about 3 miles from the Royal Down golf course for the Irish Open. We are on the outskirts of Dundrum, so within walking distance you have a great pub, wonderful restaurants, food shops, a huge car boot sale at the weekends, and of course the 12th century Norman Castle with its fabulous views.

Turn it off again when you have finished.

The log cabin is ideally situated to explore the Mourne Mountains area on the edge of Dundrum, with a view of the Slieve Donard from the veranda. Fionnuala made us very welcome and the cabin had lots of books, maps and information about the surrounding area which I found very useful. The cabin is very comfortable and has all you need for a quiet restful holiday. The restaurants in Dundrum are only a 10 minute walk away and offer good quality food at reasonable prices.

Derek2015-07-06T00:00:00Z

The log cabin was exactly as we'd hoped! It was simple & rustic & quite remote... & our dog loved it too!!! And Murlough Beach is possibly the most beautiful beach I may have ever been to in the UK!!! We had a wonderful time & would love to go back one day!!! We arrived a bit later than we had intended but were still greeted with kindness from David who gave us all information about the cabin & told us about the local area, including very interesting (URL HIDDEN) about the surrounding (& beautiful) area. Glorious!

Jacqueline2016-10-17T00:00:00Z

Great place for relaxing and exploring the local area. Right at the entrance to Murlough reserve and 5mins by car to Newcastle and Mourne mtns. Loads of space for 2 people and 4 would fit comfortably too. Great stay.

Alan2016-03-20T00:00:00Z

Fionnuala was most inviting and a real help providing accurate directions to the cabin. She had even gone to the bother of leaving fruit scones for our arrival! Beautiful cabin in an idyllic location, we will most definitely be back.

Niall2015-10-18T00:00:00Z

Absolutely perfect. The log cabin is beautiful, very tastefully furnished, with all comforts, and bigger than it looks in the pictures! The area is beautiful and - being there during the week rather than the weekend - we had it all to ourselves... Mourne Seafish Restaurant in Dundrum is amazing - I believe it has the best oysters in the world. I would recommend the log cabin very very highly.

Mical2015-10-20T00:00:00Z

we had a wonderful but too brief visit. the cottage was exactly as described and we received a great welcome from Eileen. we will definitely return perhaps in the spring or summer. also wonderful food in town!

Dan2015-06-08T00:00:00Z

A great spacious apartment just perfect for a relaxing stay no matter what the weather. Janet supplied a great information pack and the location is 5 mins walk from a Spar and the terrific Mourne Seafood bar. Stunning views and facilities- well equipped kitchen with dishwasher, both bathroom and ensuite- lots hot water and latter great shower pressure. Easy to find and good parking and so handy for nearby Newcastle too. Perfect base to recharge your batteries in. Hope to return soon with friends or family.

Alison2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

We stayed 1 week at Janet's fabulous apartment. The apartment is perfectly located at the first floor of a 3 floor building with 180 degrees views of the bay as well as the Mourne mountains. In the morning the sunrise is visible from the master bedroom. In the evening the sunset is fully visible from the living room and terrace. With the changing weather conditions this provides fantastic views. Within walking distance from the apartment there is a gas station, a supermarket, a few pubs, a chippie as well as Dundrum castle. With a car the Mourne mountains can be reached in 15 minutes and Belfast is only 40 minutes drive. The apartment itself was very clean, tastefully decorated and with comfy double beds and large sofa. The kitchen is well equipped. We would love to stay again.

Robin2016-10-24T00:00:00Z

We has the most wonderful time at Janet's amazing apartment! The sea and mountain views were absolutely incredible. A perfect place to stay for our weekend away. Janet was incredibly hospitable and left a lovely welcome pack for us. We highly recommend this apartment and hope to be back one day!

Kate2016-01-12T00:00:00Z

We spent a terrific few days at the apartment, which is one of the most comfortable and well-equipped I've ever seen. The views of the Mournes and the sea are wonderful. There was a bottle of wine and some nibbles waiting for us and a detailed information pack providing an extensive amount of information on local facilities and things to see and do. The apartment is in the centre of Dundrum village, an easy walking distance to a local shop and several eateries. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable experience that I couldn't recommend highly enough, and a host who is welcoming and helpful.

Rebecca2015-06-12T00:00:00Z

We were really looking forward to a relaxing weekend away and this place looked perfect - the real life apartment lived up to the pictures! The property was very cosy yet spacious. The decor and views were lovely and there was plenty of parking. The area itself is very nice and offers lots of things to do if you can face leaving the comfort of the apartment. Janet was very helpful and friendly in any communications we had and we hope to return again in the future.

Julie-Anne2016-02-22T00:00:00Z

Janet is well organised and a great host - made things super easy, beautiful apartment and great location. The apartment is neat and cosy too. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Philip2017-04-20T00:00:00Z

Perfect stay. The place only deviates from the pictures in that it is even better in real life! The apartment was spacious and airy yet warm and welcoming. It was very clean, and had everything that we needed. There were 4 of us, but room for more. The location is fantastic - a couple of minutes walk from 2 fantastic restaurants, plus a chippy. Dundrum castle remains were just a walk up a hill. Newcastle isn't far away, neither are the stunning Mourne mountains, Carlingford Lough, Belfast... The view from the apartment is really wonderful - obviously weather-dependent to a degree, but still fantastic. We spent two days there but we could have spent many more there. Janet was easily reached by phone or email and was happy and able to assist us with queries.

Our host Pauline communicated well prior to arrival and even waited for us after our flight was delayed. The house was comfortable, stylish and really well located for our needs. Hot water was plentiful, bed more comfortable than my own! We even arrived to the delight of provisions being available to us. 5 minutes after arriving we had a cup of tea, feet up and enjoying our break. Superb weekend.

Take your choice of food from Chinese to the chippy for a carryout , or experience the bars for casual dining and there is a choice of award winning restaurants. No wonder Patrick Keilty and Cat Daley come back on a regular basis to visit Patrick's home town.

Beautiful house in a perfect location. 100% recommend.

We had such a lovely break at Dorothy's house in Dundrum! The house was beautiful, and spotlessly clean, and the welcome basket and treats in the fridge a very thoughful touch. Dorothy was so welcoming on arrival and had great recommendations for things to do and where to eat in the area. The house was well placed for a pleasant walk up to Dundrum Castle as well as easy of the Bucks Head and,of course, the amazing Brennan's ice cream shop!! 10 mins drive from Newcastle and castlewellan. Overall very impressed and would definitely recommend! Thank you Dorothy!!

Thank you for the amazing accommodation. We had a great weekend in Northern Ireland thanks to Dorothy's advices. The house is very well equiped including all you need for cooking, reading and playing. The decoration is very nice and you can even make a wood fire in the chimney. To put in a nutshell, it's a lovely house that we warmly recommand.

Diane2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Dorothy was a fantastic host ! Sheet us at home with a pot of homemade soup sitting on stove. She had a welcome basket full of treats as well as a nicely stocked fridge. After she showed us her lovely home she sat down with us and had a pike of brochures on the area and suggested some tours we may be interested in. She checked in via email to make sure we were all doing well. Her home felt like my home , so very comfortable. She even drove down to a restaurant and made reservations for us! Her lusting did say no wifi and that was fine but would have been the absolute perfect if wifi was available as we needed access to plan our time there. All and all Dorothy was fantastic and her home was too!

Kelly2015-09-03T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay in this perfect location. Great house with fantastic welcome. Local food and drink was excellent. Couldn't have asked for anymore.

Ryan2016-07-27T00:00:00Z

Thanks so much Dorothy for a lovely stay and for being so accommodating. House was perfect for our family event.

Fionnula2015-08-24T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay. The Location was perfect for us we climbed Donard on the Saturday. Great house with loads of space. Local restaurants and pubs was excellent. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

Brid2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

I would recommend staying at Dorothy's house. It is located a short walk from restaurants and shops in Dundrum and beautiful views over Dundrum Bay from Dundrum Castle. It is a great base for accessing the Mourne Mountains. The accommodation was clean and well equipped, including wifi. Dorothy was very friendly and provided plenty of good advice on local facilities and walks. We enjoyed playing the family board games and reading the books about nearby walks.

Gayle and her family were fantastic hosts and made me feel at home. When I arrived, I hadn't eaten all day and Gayle cooked me an omelette, which was incredibly nice and exactly what I needed. She also gave me a tour of the town and made sure I knew where media parking was for the Irish Open. In the evenings, she offered to give me a ride into town on several occasions, which was very kind and accommodating. I wouldn't hesitate to stay with Gayle and her family again.

Stephanie2015-05-30T00:00:00Z

Stay was wonderful Gayle was incredibly accommodating as I had a very late check in. I will be back again if I am in the area again!

Adam2017-03-17T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay. Gayle gave perfect directions and we arrived after a walk up Slieve Donard. The room was huge and had a fantastic shower with loads of hot water. Gayle left us breakfast and gave perfect recommendations for dinner and coffees the following day. The dogs were friendly and well behaved.

Karen2015-10-27T00:00:00Z

The epitome of Irish hospitality. I felt welcomed and at home from the moment I arrived. A credit to Airbnb. As to location, fate Saw that it was positioned exactly where I wished to be. Great food, great location, clean, spacious and modern. Good company and good Facilities. Highly recommend.

Justin2015-11-13T00:00:00Z

Had another lovely weeks stay with Gayle and her family - it really feels like a home away from home!

Dorothy2016-04-16T00:00:00Z

We only spent one night at Gayle's house. Her husband was kind enough to let us in and show us around when we arrived. Gayle was working late but once she arrived home she came up to the room and made sure everything was ok as well as checked in on us in the morning before she left.

Cynthia2015-09-05T00:00:00Z

I spent 3 nights with Gayle: the room is very spacious, nice and quiet, very warm, and 5 minutes walk from the house is a bus stop, convenient to Belfast or elsewhere! Gayle is extremely helpful, giving great advice and made me service (on storing my luggage and my travels). It was perfect! I recommend!

Julie2015-09-30T00:00:00Z

Gayle was lovely. Very accommodating for our last minute booking, friendly and relaxed throughout our stay. The house is quiet, private and comfortable. It's located a 2 minute stroll away from the Main Street in Dundrum and a 5 minute taxi from Newcastle. Just what we we're looking for and we'll definitely stay again, thanks

Arley House is a family run bed and breakfast .. we started up nearly7 years ago now and have 2 double rooms which have a shower in the ensuite .we are nestled at the bottom of the Mourne Mountains and on the coast ...great base to start exploring...

Rooms are a good size and can be set up as a twin room or as a double. They can also accommodate children with either a travel cot or a adult sized camp bed . The rooms have blackout blinds fitted as the sun rises outside your window.

Dundrum is a beautiful ,quiet, rural area with some really nice walks , and of course , the castle ,which sits up on the hill and has the most stunning views of where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea..

The worst. Told me she would cancel reservation but never did. Called and texted would never pick up.

Cristian2016-08-27T00:00:00Z

My brother and I stayed here in August, 2016 when we visited the area for a 3 day golfing event. The location was perfect, only 10 minutes from Newcastle and Royal Co. Down Golf Club. Arlene was a great host during our stay. Our twin room was clean and had everything you would expect in a quality B&B. Breakfast was a selection of cereal, fruit, yogurt etc. and a traditional Irish breakfast. We were also surprised to find two good restaurants 5 minutes walk away in Dundrum. I would recommend this B&B to anyone planning on staying in the area. If you're planning a golf trip to the northeast of the country and don't want to break the bank on accommodation, you can't go wrong staying at the Arley House B&B.

John2016-08-12T00:00:00Z

Airbnb have rules of conduct for their hosts. It might be worth checking them out before staying here although the actual stay was lovely.

Jill2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

Arlene provides a lovely breakfast, has good suggestions on what to see and do, and where to eat. The location is great for that coastal area, Downpatrick, the Mourne Mountains.

Michael2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

Arlene facilitated every need with great friendliness and warmth. The breakfast was lovely and bed was comfortable. We would highly recommend this place!

Stephen2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

There is lots to do in the area and equally the apartment is ideal for relaxing in. We all really enjoyed our stay and would love to return. Definitely would recommend staying here.

This 3 bedroom bayside apartment boasts spectacular views, of the stunning Mourne Mountains and beautiful Dundrum Bay.
My place is close to parks, great views, restaurants and dining, and the beach. You’ll love my place because of the views and the location. My place is good for couples, business travellers, and families (with kids).

There are two king-sized bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, a third single bedroom and main family bathroom. All bedrooms benefit from wonderful seas view so no one has to look at a carpark! The open plan living/dining area opens out onto a generous sized balcony, allowing you to enjoy the naturally relaxing, almost hypnotic, setting of this 1st floor apartment. There is a well equipped, modern kitchen including fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a washer/drier.
Within a 1 minute walk you can enjoy some of the finest restaurants in the area including a pub which has been described as “the most popular destination in the whole Mourne area for anyone who appreciates quality food.” Using this as your base, amble along the coastline, see the seals basking in the sun’s rays, embark upon climbing the encouraging tracks up the Mourne Mountains or take pleasure in making the most of the fantastic countryside on horseback.
A simple Welcome Pack is provided for all stays which will ensure that you can relax and unwind as soon as you arrive.

There are two excellent restaurants in the village, both of which are approximately a 1 minute walk from the apartment:
The Buck's Head and The Mourne Seafood Bar, both, in my opinion, offer excellent food in pleasant surroundings. Booking in advance is recommended for both.
In Newcastle, Vanilla has quickly gained a very good reputation and, The Harbour Inn and Stone Boat Restaurant provides true Northern Irish hospitality and the freshest of seafood menus and Frances will be sure to look after you!
If you, or another member of your party, feel like some "me time", I can highly recommend a visit to Aqua Luna, Beauty Rooms which is just a 1 minute walk from the apartment. Nicola and Anne Marie take real pride in what they do and you'll feel truly pampered.
Additionally, if you are looking for ideas for things to do whilst visiting Dundrum, the Discover Northern Ireland website is a good place to start.

We stayed two nights in this lovely apartment which has amazing views over the bay and mountains. The apartment was well equipped with towels, hairdryer, welcome pack, everything we needed for a home to home stay. We had a great meal in The Bucks Head which is only a two minute walk away and well worth a visit and spent a relaxing afternoon in The Spa at the Slieve Donald Hotel Newcastle. Andrea our host was very helpful and was quick to respond to any of our queries. I would definitely recommend staying here and hope to return again in the not to distant future.

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful house. Two living rooms, large kitchen and separate dining room meant there was more than enough space for us to enjoy our New Years celebrations. The bedrooms were large and the house was brilliantly equipped. The entrance to the apartment is a little off putting but when you reach the first floor where the living area is, it becomes apparent that it's a superb apartment.

This listing combines our two available bedrooms (also available separately!)

Gayle felt like a long-time friend or sister, making our stay comfortable and fun in every way possible, from offering us tea and snacks on arrival to making dinner reservations at a lovely, nearby restaurant. She even drove us to the restaurant so that we could take a taxi back if we decided to have drinks. We were exhausted and jet-lagged however and fell gratefully into the most comfortable beds possible!

Sheryl2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

A dream home to spend some time between sea and mountains ... a very warm and simple welcome. A beautiful stage on the Irish coast close to Belfast

Sandra2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Gayle was an amazing hostess. The rooms were gorgeous, modern and very comfortable. Gayle was great for welcoming us and making sure we were comfortable and very helpfully gave us some local visitor recommendations. We can highly recommend this airbnb spot for all traveling in the area.
